Which Onion? - 3 years ago
If you use onion in a toasted sandwich do you use Red or Brown onion?I am sure that the last time I made toasted sandwiches I used red onion sliced and they didn't seem to soften and weren't as nice as using brown onion.Can this be the case that red onion doesn't suit being cooked this way.I want to make the rolled up versions for this weekend and am sure they would fare better with ordinary browby marylew - Foodlovers Food Talk

shortbread recipe - 3 years ago
Does anyone have a recipe that I have forgotten that was a shortbread recipe that you rolled and then sliced,put a chocolate button on top and baked?This was a twenty years ago recipe that I loved but never wrote down.by marylew - Foodlovers Food Talk
Re: Washing dish cloths, how often? - 3 years ago
For those of you that put their dishcloths in the microwave do you put a cup of water next to it or it goes in alone?I have never done this I put mine in the washing machine, but now I want to try your way.by marylew - Foodlovers Non-Foodie Chat

Re: Leeks - 3 years ago
I have just read an article today on how good Leeks are for us.I have never cooked with them in years as my husband didn't like them or onions.My Mum always cooked them in a white sauce which I loved.I will start to eat them again now but how do you members cook them?If you have a favourite white sauce recipe I would love to try it or another recipe I would love to have it.Thanksby marylew - Foodlovers Food Talk

Re: Supermarket cooked chickens - 3 years ago
Thanks Jenna and tpandav I can now understand what it is.I am going to brine a large chicken that I have in my freezer that I had bought on special a little while ago.I bought 2 or 3 and when I cooked one of them it had an unusual, dry,almost turkey flavour.I prefer chicken to turkey.I love the ready to roast chickens that come in the cook-in-the-bag types.They are expensive but full of flavour.by marylew - Foodlovers Food Talk

Kumara - 3 years ago
I have been quite disappointed lately with the kumara that I have cooked.They look fine on the outside but when cooked they are black inside.Is there any way to tell from the outside skin if they won't be right inside? I have perhaps bought them on special so does the supermarket know that there is a problem with them do you think? Kumara is my favorite vegetable so this is quite off putting forby marylew - Foodlovers Food Talk

Re: Quick Fix for Slow Computer - 3 years ago
I hope I can join this thread with my problem.

Re: Liver and Bacon. - 3 years ago
I don't eat enough red meat as I don't really eat a lot of beef.I eat a lot of chicken probably because it has always been a tasty cheap meal.It's always on special for a reasonable price.I bought some liver on special and froze it so now I must cook it.by marylew - Foodlovers Food Talk

Re: Electric Jug/Kettle - 3 years ago
Lorna my old white plastic jug had to be thrown out because it was leaking water .It was a cordless model but the water pooled around the base,which was dangerous.A friend offered to buy me a new one as a birthday present a couple of months ago.I chose a good looking Stainless Steel model from Briscoes in a red colour.It works well and it looks good, but after having a light plastic model I am diby marylew - Foodlovers Non-Foodie Chat
Re: Lisianthus. - 3 years ago

Re: Batter for Fish - 3 years ago
Faheyregal and Dawn your batter sounds great. Do you mix it and then leave to rest or do you need to use straight away?Also do you dust your fish with flour before you put it in the batter or is it straight into batter? Thanks.by marylew - Foodlovers Food Talk
Curry Sauce. - 3 years ago
I love prawns and came across a recipe today on Food To Love by Nikki Wicks.It is Curried Prawn Baguette.The curry sauce has included in its ingredients Mayonnaise Sour Cream Curry Powder Lemon Juice Garlic. My question is, when I make up this curry sauce combination how long will it keep in the fridge?When I saw the sour cream in the ingredients I think that it may not keep for more thanby marylew - Foodlovers Food Talk
